The Holocaust

The Holocaust was an event that has marked the twentieth century as one of the most violent in human history. During the period that commenced with Hitler's ascension to power in 1933 to the final collapse of the Third Reich in 1945, over six million persons of the Jewish faith perished as well as millions of others -- Slavs, Homosexuals, Gypsies and those that the Nazis considered subhuman.

HI 426 is a lecture class and students are encouraged to attend all of the class sessions, take notes, read the assignments, and ask questions.
